Movie Reviews

A surprisingly entertaining movie

"I used to be a huge fan of R.L. Stine, but as I got older, I realized that his books were pretty stupid. When I heard about The Haunting Hour, I decided to give it a shot since it had a great cast. My expectations were low, but the movie proved to make for an exciting two hours. Emily Osment is a great actress and was able to play a very different character from her role on Hannah Montana. The rest of the cast were pretty good too, with the exception of the little brother and parents who I felt were a bit annoying. The plot isn't that different from a typical Goosebumps books, but the great characters, amazing soundtrack and snappy writing make it special.

Either R.L. Stine is really improving as a writer, or he wasn't involved in the movie that much. The only problem I really had was the last few minutes, which felt like a typical, stupid ending you'd find in Goosebumps. All that aside, this is a very interesting movie that even managed to creep me out a bit. Give us a Volume 2!"

Great Kids/Teen Flick

"My kids and I were channel surfing this past Halloween week and came upon this movie. When my daughter, who is a huge Hannah Montana fan, saw Emily Osment was in the film she demanded we watch. My 14 year old son was not thrilled with the idea, but 15 minutes into the movie we were hooked- including myself! It spoke to an 11 year old a 14 year old and an adult. It's a great family flick- perfect for Halloween! I highly recommend this movie."

Great for Kids

"This movie was great for my kids over Halloween weekend. They normally don't like scary movies, especially my youngest, but they were both thoroughly entertained and spooked. My youngest daughter asked me to buy the film 'so we could watch it every year'. I am glad to do so."

A new family tradition

"I bought this movie for my niece this Christmas. She loves scary movies. We all watched it together as a family on the 26th and a new boxing day tradition was born! My niece felt so special that the whole family enjoyed her movie. I remember loving RL Stine when I was about her age and wishing that my parents read the books too. It was so gratifying to watch my mother and sister munching out of a big Christmas tin of flavored popcorn and being so absorbed in this thrilling film!"

Entertaining, scary... a must see!

"This movie is so much fun -- entertaining and scary. The cast is phenomenal! It's thrilling to watch and fun for the whole family. I watched it with my cousins who are all different ages, and this was the only movie that we could all agree on watching... and everyone loved it! I highly recommend it."
